Previously, I wrote an article on my blog titled “Why Convert PCB Files to GERBER Files and Drill Data for PCB Manufacturers”. That article simply explained why this is necessary. In this article, I will discuss how to convert PCB design files into the corresponding Gerber files and some common pitfalls to avoid. Many engineers … Read more
Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) originated in the 1970s and are a new type of logic device developed based on Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). They are the main hardware platform for digital system design today, characterized by being fully configurable and programmable by users through software to perform specific functions, and can be repeatedly erased and … Read more
This year’s IIC Shanghai, while similar in arrangement to previous years with forums on power supply, MCU, EDA/IP, and the China IC Leaders Summit, has a notable difference: everyone is talking about AI. Almost all topics revolve around AI—even discussions related to power supply and testing are intertwined with AI. This is closely related to … Read more
Last year, when the Japanese semiconductor giant Renesas Electronics acquired the electronic design automation (EDA) giant Altium for $5.91 billion (approximately 428 billion RMB), the industry was concerned about the high premium paid—this price was not only nearly 50% higher than Autodesk’s $4 billion offer for Altium in 2021, but also raised doubts about whether … Read more
